| Name | Extracted | Size | Date | Description |
| CHESNET.ZIP | Yes | 35882 | 6/9/1994 | ChessNet 1.1 lets you play a game of chess over a modem. You could also use it just to play through games on screen. You cannot play the computer, however, which makes the shareware fee for this somewhat exorbitant, considering that Battle Chess and ChessMaster sell for the same or less. The graphics are good, and the "game replay" is handy. (Jack Lerner) (Reg.Fee: $35) |
| CHESSFW.ZIP | Yes | 531090 | 7/22/1994 | ChessMate for Windows 1.2 is a good implementation of chess. Features include seven levels of difficulty, hints, a demo mode, sound effects, and more. (Kevin Moore) (Reg.Fee: $20 Pound) |
| KCHESW15.ZIP | Yes | 163353 | 4/14/1994 | K-Chess for Windows 1.5 is an educational Chess program for Windows that shows its own calculations as it works. It features various types of hints and help, and can devise the best line of attack for several moves ahead. One or two players may participate, or you can observe the computer in auto-play mode. Keyboard and mouse input is accepted. (Rob McDonell) (Reg.Fee: $18-20) |
| WAX_WIN.ZIP | Yes | 33881 | 6/9/1994 | Waxman 1.2w is a chess game for Windows that you play against the computer. It will let you specify the amount of time the computer can think about its next move. Other options include move analysis, editing of the board to set up special situations, changing sides, and more. Waxman plays a surprisingly strong game. If you like speed chess, set it on 40 moves in five minutes and see if you can beat it. (Check-Tech Software, Inc.) (Reg.Fee: $?) |
| WINCHES.ZIP | Yes | 48966 | 6/9/1994 | Windows Chess 1.0 is a game of chess for Windows. It has good graphics and plays a decent game, though not as strong a game as the DOS-based chess games in the library. We ran into a bug in which it would not let us promote a pawn to the eighth rank. Requires EGA/VGA. (Daryl Baker) (Reg.Fee: $0) |
